Whole Family | Granola!

Levi has been reeaallllyyyyy wanting to help me in the kitchen so I thought up the perfect recipe for him to do just that. Granola!

It’s not a messy recipe, for the most part you use a 1/2 cup measuring cup the whole time which makes it very simple. and all the cooking is done in the oven. The perfect recipe for little ones to help with.

Did I mention how incredibly tasty it is?

It is. Incredibly. Tasty.

For real.

Shiloh went on and on about how wonderful it was saying, “This is is the best healthy dessert I have ever had in my entire life!!!” Even the hubs said it was perfect and to not change a thing. He then got seconds. Let me tell you: make this recipe. It is AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!

  6. Oh my goodness! We made some this afternoon, my 2.5 year old loved to help stir & measure! It is absolutely delicious! The only disappointing part is that I only made a half batch because it seemed like a lot! It totally wouldn’t have been! Thanks for another great recipe!

  7. I made the paleo recipe & wanted to know how to store it and how long will it keep! While it was baking the smell was awesome ! I will definitely make this again.

    • So glad you like it! I store it in a plastic container with a tight lid. Ours never stays around for long as we eat it so fast. I think the longest we’ve kept it has been a week and it still tasted great.
